<h1>Ghidra Projects</h1>
<p>A Ghidra project maintains information for a particular reverse engineering
(RE) effort. The RE effort involves using tools built with <a href="help/topics/Tool/Ghidra_Tool_Administration.htm#Plugins">plugins</a>
to analyze target software. Tools are accessible across projects and not
associated with any one project in particular.&nbsp; However,&nbsp; the target
software is imported into a Ghidra project as <a href="help/topics/Program/Ghidra_Programs.htm">programs</a>.&nbsp;
The Ghidra project organizes and
maintains these programs for multiple users. </p>
<p>The latest release of Ghidra introduces the concept of a <a href="help/topics/VersionControl/project_repository.htm">project
repository</a> that contains files that are <a href="help/topics/VersionControl/project_repository.htm#Versioning">versioned</a>,
shared, or private.&nbsp; A shared project is associated with a Ghidra
Server that manages the files in the repository. Multiple users in the
project can add files, access files on the server and create new versions of the
files.&nbsp; Private files are local your project and have not been added to a
project repository. You can still take advantage of the project repository
features and not have your project be associated with a Ghidra Server.&nbsp; </p>
<p>You can create subfolders and <a href="help/topics/ImporterPlugin/importer.htm">import</a> programs
into your project. You can also view other data from other projects, or drag the
other project data into your current project. </p>
<p>&nbsp;The <a href="help/topics/FrontEndPlugin/Ghidra_Front_end.htm"> Ghidra Project Window</a>
shows the active project. The Ghidra Project Window's menu provides access
